The remastering process was gimped as well. This arc could've had much much much more filler removed than it did. The first Kai took episodes 001 to 194 of Z and turned it into 98 episodes. Here, the arc begins at episode 99 and goes to 167-69 episodes total (international version, not Japan version that aired on Fuji TV). For reference, the Majin Boo arc for DBZ began at episode 200 and lasted to 291-91 episodes total. Right off that bat, the biggest point of a Kai version for the Boo arc is mostly gone. If I remember correctly, Kanzenshuu said that the international cut only removed 25% of the filler from the series while the cut that actually did air in Japan removed only 33% (it got 9 less episodes than the rest of the world did). The filler removal is less than I would have hoped for. But since this was never planned to air in Japan and the first Kai got low ratings, Toei half-assed this as much as they possiblyĬould. Investors wanted it for the overseas audience, thus they went ahead with it after all. While it's better than the Z version for the filler that was removed, Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters is a poor sequel to the original Dragon Ball Z Kai that we received a few years ago.Īfter the end of DBZ Kai with its lower than expected ratings, Toei did not plan to make a Kai for the Majin Boo arc of the series.
